Complex Analysis Book: Conway vs Lang

1.7k Views Asked by At

I want to start stuyding complex analysis on a graduate level on my own (self study). I'm having trouble with diciding which one of the following books to use:

  • Serge Lang's Complex Analysis or
  • John. B. Conway's Functions of One Complex Variable.

Here's the first part of the contents of both books:

As you can see, Conway has a chapter on Metric Spaces and the Topology of $\Bbb C$, and starts with power series in the third chapter, while Lang does it directly in the second chapter.

Which of these two books do you guys recommend me and why?
